Ronnie Gonzalez grew up on Ringgold St. Where he would ride his bike and skateboard until his dad whistled to let him know it was time to come in. He saw his big brother playing the guitar and he picked it up and taught himself. Ronnie was also part of the Hanna Hight School Estudiantina. The kids from the hood started jamming out in the early ’90s. Where he became a popular local musician aka “Rude Ronnieâ€. These are the groups he belonged to: Juvenile Delinquents, the Dead Flintstones, Neglected Youth, Political Decay, the Beneficiaries, the Rejected, Step 10, Had About Enough, Threat of Tomorrow, the Rejected (again), Los Muertos, Undermine Authority & Corrupted Drunks. Ronnie loved playing and making music with his brotherhood. Ronnie was also a volunteer for the Charros Day Transportation crew for many years. It was one of his favorite times of the year. In 2004 he attended STVT where he met the love of his life. Two years later they started a life together that lasted 15 years until his passing. He was a big Dallas Cowboys fan, he loved going to the pitadas on Southmost. He loved fishing when he had the time, loved bicycling around Brownsville. He always wanted a motorcycle and this year his dreams came true when he got himself a Harley Davidson. One of the greatest things he loved to do weekly was hang out with the kids outside and barbeque.
